Amelia was the older sister to Muriel Earhart. Muriel's nickname was Pidge. One thing I know they did as girls was have their uncle help them build a home-made sled, and Amelia used it on the roof of the shed. She flew off the roof and crash-landed, but came up with a bruised lip and torn dress exclaiming "Oh, Pidge, it's just like flying!" I know this because I did a HUGE project on Amelia Earhart last year.
Yes, Amelia Earhart was involved in charity work. She worked with various organizations to promote aviation education, support female pilots, and raise funds for scholarships to help aspiring aviators. Additionally, Earhart used her platform to advocate for women's rights and encourage young women to pursue their dreams.
Possibly, it was how she demonstrated that women were capable of many things that had previously been "male only" domains. The Army Air Force used many women pilots during WW II as delivery and shuttle pilots - that might not have happened without Amelia Earhart.
Actually so her name was used to publicise the flight. In fact she wrote a log and did some organising.
Wireless Telegraphy (Code form) and The Monotype machine were patented in the Year l897, when she was born. The Monotype is a typesetting machine no longer used but having the same basic keyboard as a typewriter(or modern computer) They normally had two keyboards in paralell(one in reserve) and the whoole complex weighed 2500 Lbs, as much as a Jeep. The Oldsmobile Curved Dash model was inthe design stages in l897. also.
Old Bessie was the name of the airplane she crashed in. The model was kind of like those planes that they used to make in the mid 1900's.
